4 years??!!?? can you imagine that? It's been almost 4 years since I updated this blog and I think now is the perfect time to revive it :)

Now that I'm a wife I will be spending more time in the kitchen so this blog is perfect to chronicle, well not every dish though, my challenges in the kitchen. I love cooking and I love to learn new recipes. I've had my first carbonara 2 years ago, which I was not able to document :(

For now I would like to share with you this yummy dish from Davao (I forgot the name of the resto). It is grilled bangus (milk fish) topped with a chili "something" sauce..I forgot again what that yellow orange sauce was. It was so good, too good I can't describe how it really tastes..kind of gata or pinakbet or kare-kare taste..

I've just recovered from a 1-month dry cough and the first thing I would want to eat is ICE CREAM!!!Last Sunday, I bought a variety of ice cream from a local store and enjoyed it with my family. I love it! It's really nice being a child sometimes.

Ice cream is composed of milk, sweeteners, stabilizers and water. These ingredients, along with air incorporated during the stirring process, make up ice cream.Did you ever wondered when and where did people ate the first ice cream? They said it started back at Mesopotamia and Ancient Greek where they mix ice with honey and fruit. Wherever it first started, I don't really care as long as we have great-tasting flavors of ice cream today. :)yum..yum!

When I was in college, me and my sister are fond on experimenting on recipes. We found a recipe of chicken pastel on a brochure, it looks really nice and delicious so we gave it a try. Though there are different versions of this dish, here's my own.
